Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.

Media blackout on Rifqa Bary

Atlas Shrugs tells that there have been hearings on the Rifqa Bary case in Ohio without public knowledge, and that the November 16 hearing appears to be canceled.

On the one hand, while a gag order could actually be of help if that's what it takes to keep awful newspapers like the Columbus Dispatch from writing things that could actually hurt her, it is bad if hearings are being run behind everyone else's back, especially if a backdoor deal were to come up that could find Rifqa returned to her abusive parents without prior knowledge.

And that's one more reason to attend the rally on November 16 at 11AM in Dorrian Commons Park, where Andrew Bostom will also be present.

So far, there appears to be another hearing scheduled for December 22. Let's hope there'll be a rally planned for that time as well.

About me

I'm Avi Green

From Jerusalem, Israel

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
